The Lutheran Church here in Teeny Tiny Town has quite a few active social outreach programs. One of them being an area Food Bank or Pantry. I'm just blessed to overflowing with foodstuffs here from all the good deals I have found using coupons. We can't possibly eat it all so I called up the church and offered to make a donation to the Food Pantry from my stockpile. Here is what we put together to take over for the Pantry shelves.
This Church also holds a Free Medical Clinic for those who can't afford to go to the Dr. or to an Emergency Room for treatment. They are always in need of supplies and medicines too. I asked the lady up at the Church if they could use some Diabetic Glucose Monitors. She isn't involved in the Clinic but she said to bring them. If they can't use them, they will know of someone or some place else where they can be put to good use.
So we're also taking these up to the Church in the morning....
What Random Act of Kindness have YOU performed this week?Sluggy
I am taking a bag of "goodies" to a friend of mine. Her husband's family owns a farm and she is a teacher. They have three kids under the age of 7. I told her I would love to help her learn the whole couponing thing, but the goody bag when I go over will be a surprise! I go Friday and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI put a whole box full of coupon-acquired goodies (food and toiletries) out for the mail carrier to pick up Saturday morning for the national Stamp Out Hunger food bank drive. Felt good to offer so much and also know that it didn't break the bank to get the supplies in the first place!
ReplyDeleteWow that is great. I put out a ton of stuff for Stamp out Hunger.
ReplyDeletethe church across teh street from my house just started a food pantry and I plan on going through my stockpile and coming up with a bunch of stuff to donate. I also plan to donate several reusable bags made from spare cloth in my scrap pile.
